Scozzafava Suspends Campaign

true

but the margin of mcdonnell's triumph will intimidate the heck outta party moderates, which will expire pelosi's most ambitious plans

and even if corzine holds on, it will only be by a point or 2

that too will signify seriously

corzine's had just about every break, a 3rd party splitter, all the money, a not real inspiring republican opponent...

trenton should generically go blue by 10+

if a dem can only win in nj by a point, what's that say about missouri, iowa, indiana...

I wasn't making a joke

As for those TV interviews featuring Sarah Palin tending to a pot of stew in her Wasilla kitchen, Johnston says that in reality, "Sarah doesn't cook, Todd doesn't cook -- the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I'd barbecue chicken or steak on the grill."
"There wasn't much parenting in that house," writes Johnston.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

The PEOPLE are stupid, get that through your head. A Third party will not suddenly make the public smarter, or better voters.

The people have forgotten THEY are the ones in charge, until they remember that, nothing will change. I have hopes with the NY 23 race, that things are turning and people are realizing this.

Good.

Extremism for the sake of defeating socialism is no vice.

Oh, by "extreme" you must mean simply holding traditional American values, like respect for liberty.
 
Re: Scozzafava Endorses Democrat After Dropping Out of N.Y. Congressional Race

She was actually to the right of average of her co-elected-partisans in New York. She's solidly a New York Republican. More conservative than the average New York Republican.


Interesting on the endorsement, though!

You mean, pro-baby murder, pro-Crap and Trade, pro-Messiah Care?

Nope, she's not a standard New York Republican at all. She be RINO.

And perhaps you have not heard that it is not a Republican that is going to win. The winner is third party, and a real Conservative.

The important thing is that the Democrat isn't going to win.

Democrats not winning, that should happen in every election.

A third party candidate solved the problem of the Al Gore Presidency.

All thanks to Ralphie.
 
Scozzafava's endorsement of the Democrat is a different stand alone story but was moved and in effect killed in the process.

This mean she isn't a good parent cuz she don't cook?

Well well....who has a stereotype of women instilled into them, shame on you Will, I think you just got exposed.

The cream of discrimination always rises to the top.:2wave:

the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school.

Same with my children, reckon I'm a bad parent.

Gee Will, should these children do none of these chores, reckon you'd think that was good parenting...give the kiddies the same entitlement mentality you have?

I think what it means is the extremes are taking over the GOP. Hoffman doesn't live in the district, and when interviewed by the editorial board of the local paper, showed up with Dick Armey (instead of alone), couldn't answer questions about local issues, and allowed Dick Armey to say local issues are parochial issues.

Hoffman isn't representing the people of that district, he isn't in touch with them at all, and actually doesn't even care about their local issues.

I have to laugh at Libruls and Democrats who claim the Republican Party is the party of extremes considering the infestation of leftist loons in the Democrat Party; Pelosi, Reid, Barney FFffffranks, Waxman....the list is so very long of lunatic morons who are now in charge of what used to be a fairly conservative moderate party.

But alas, denial is strong with Libruls these days; how's that change werkin for ya? :rofl

Why? Do you really think it would be different? How so? Party’s morph constantly over time and the notion that if we just had multiple OTHER choices it would be so much better are not born out by historic facts.

How well does that work for parliamentary systems we see in Europe?

I didn't know that Scozzafava a closet lesbien. So what if she is why does that matter and who said that anyone had a right to "out" her. Her sexual preference is her own business. Furtermore I did not realize that the media owned gays or lesbiens so why are you saying one of their own. I knew she was "pro' same gender marriage rights but how come that was not know until now that they "outed" her ?

Now we aren't. But back then there was a real chance of it. You don't realize just how tangled up the firms that had the problems were in the economy. Let me explain it real simple for you. When the big firms go down, their bring down asset values. That causes many middle firms to break their debt covenants which causes them to go down. Then their middle sized banks go down reducing credit and financing. Then the next level of businesses go down all while completely destroying asset values and equity at every single layer. Can you name me a country in history that was industrialized without a functioning financial and banking sector?

The bailouts coupled with the spending and borrowing going on is going to destroy the dollar and then you'll see the REAL destruction of the Country. Bush's greatest failure was the spending, and Obama is taking it to a whole new level.p

Not that I disagree with that, but the real destruction of the dollar will come when the artificial constructs that have bolstered its value are removed. I pointed this out before and none of the Obama bashers who harp on artificial interference in the market wanted to say anything. Hypocrites every last one of them.

When the dollar enters freefall, and gas jumps to $20 a gallon, what then?

We stalled a depression only to ensure a burnout.

That's very likely.

It would have self corrected, it just would have been painful to go through.
